The e-Bugster takes the Volkswagen Beetle's familiar shape, then blends in a flat windshield with a lower roofline and shallow windows, along with a close-coupled hardtop.

The effect is a somewhat more roadster-like look that considering the prominent wheel arches—if we squint a bit—isn't all that far off from the look of the original Audi TT.

Based on what we saw, we like how the e-Bugster Electric Concept blends the spirit of the Beetle, EV eco-sensibilities, and the promise of zippy performance all together, and this model looks like a promising EV icon.
